Khatia Buniatishvili Guest with Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich

Georgian-born pianist Khatia Buniatishvili, described as one of the most distinctive pianists of the present day, performs as guest with the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich beginning Wednesday evening. In an interview, Buniatishvili says that when one plays, one is naked on stage, discussing freedom at the keyboard and in life. The NZZ article also raises the question of how long Paavo — a reference to the orchestra's leadership — remains "our Paavo."
